GoodBookStall Review:
Christianity is a verbal, wordy, religion; perhaps too much so. The arts, in the widest sense, are God's gifts, offering us other ways to understand and express our faith. Whether one wishes to employ - and can afford - an 'artist in residence' in a Church, or put on a play, this book lives up to its sub-title of being 'A practical guide' to achieve one's aim. With 'Case Studies' fleshing out the objective information and advice, the Bibliography and 'Useful Contacts' section make this a user-friendly resource. It should encourage the smallest congregation to widen both the way they worship and their evangelistic outreach.
